"As anxious to reach the next station as the commuters are to be at their places of work by the appointed hour, famous engine #460 with Train #982 and three cars leaves Lenola for Maple Shade, NJ on her morning Pemberton-Camden run. This is an "on train" recording. Listen for the "go-ahead" cab signal, the station start, and two grade crossing signals from her famous whistle. The throttle is then shut off, the safety valve pops, another grade crossing signal, and the train is braked to a stop to pick up additional commuters. An automatic gate and bell protect the train on the grade crossing at Maple Shade Station."

Al Shade Jr. recorded this AUDIO clip of a PRR H10s 2-8-0 Consolidation doing some switching chores at the Sandusky, Ohio freight yard in 1957....most likely just weeks or months before the engines retirement....
The engine is equipped with the "Banshee" freight whistle...
"The New York and Long Branch Division was one of the last places where steam was employed in passenger service by the Pennsy. Here at Sea Girt, NJ, the K4 starts Train No. 714, consisting of 1 combine and 6 coaches, and quickly gathers speed amid the echoes of the bouncing from passing buildings close to the tracks. The whistle is then used to make two grade crossing signals - the sound and tone so typical of this class of locomotive, at one time used over the main lines of the entire Pennsy system. The safety valve pops off soon after the engineer closes his throttle preporatory tot he station stop at Spring Lake, New Jersey."

"Class T1 (4-4-4-4) #5505 westbound, climbing Horseshoe Curve just west of Altoona, PA with a Harrisburg-Pittsburgh Local Train #19. First heard 1/4 mile away, the T1's exhaust fades then strengthens as she passes the site of Kittanning Point Station and rounds the Curve, heading towards Gallitzin. Note the unusual sounds of the T1's poppet valves. This recording was made on July 5, 1949.

John M. Prophet III made this recording in September of 1955. This is definitely what I'd consider the best vintage audio recording of a PRR locomotive....you can clearly hear the chuffs, the drivers clanking, as well as the cars driving by them. And let's not forget that gorgeous Pennsy whistle!
